Switch the Luxi interface from Strings to ByteStrings
I'm doing this change for future performance optimisations. Currently we use the Luxi interface just as a client, so not in the hot path, but when we'll use this as a server interface, we're interested to both reduce the space and time consumption of the interface. We have to simultaneous changes here: - switch from using socket-related function (sendto, recv, etc.) to handle-based functions, since the standard network library doesn't work with sockets - switch from using Strings for the internal buffer to strict ByteStrings; the only downside is that we now have the issue of decoding/encoding from binary to UTF-8 strings, a fact which brings its own issues into the mix (we have to check for failed decodings, etc.); but this is similar to what we'll have to handle on the Python side when moving to Python 3.x Signed-off-by:Iustin Pop <iustin@google.com> Reviewed-by:
